 7+* New Special:Ask for directly browsing query results and for testing queries.
 8+* New output format "timeline" for inline queries that deal with dates. Available
 9+ parameters are: timelinestart (name of start date attribute), timelineend (name
 10+ of end date attribute, if any), tiemlinesize (CSS-encoded height), timelinebands
 11+ (comma-seperated list of bands such as DAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR, ...), and
 12+ timelineposition (one of start, end, today, middle).
 13+* Complete RDF export is now possible with a maintenance script, whic can e.g. be
 14+ run periodically on a server to create RDF files.
 15+* New "service links" feature: any attribute can provide configurable links to
 16+ online services. As a special case, the map-services of geo-coordinates are now
 17+ fully configurable.
 18+* Inline queries now link to life search for further results if not all results
 19+ were shown inline.
 20+* The formatting code for inline queries was rewritten to become more powerful.
 21+ For instance, multi-property outputs in list format will never produce empty
 22+ parentheses now.
 23+* RDF-export code is cleaner and some further OWL DL incompatibilities are caught.
 24+* RDF-export now can generate browsable RDF (with backlinks) even for Category
 25+ pages.
 26+* Improved headers for sorting tables. Sort icon now visible even if no text is
 27+ shown in header.
 28+* Many bugfixes.
